I put all the spoons in one compartment, all the knives in another, the forks in the third and serving spoons etc. in the 4th...I always have to go back after he's done it and put them right!!

It is a main road between town and a very large and popular lake and so is heavily traveled. Our pet peeve: while we are traveling at normal speed, folks will pull out of a driveway and s l o w l y drive their vehicle a few tens of meters just to turn into another driveway. And they couldn't wait the three seconds for us to pass by!!

You sound like my wife. We don't separate the cutlery in the drainer, but woe betide me if I put the vegemite jar back in the wrong place. Sounds like a woman to me.

My husband also puts the pots/pans etc. back in the cupboard in the wrong place when he dries and puts them away! Drives me nuts...

I don't mind if my husband keeps out of the kitchen, as long as he does such yucky stuff as unblocking the drains!!

LIke the bloke who'd been warned to be very careful when removing the U-Bend under the kitchen sink. You know, all the yucky bacteria, old slime, the last dish wash. So very carefully he undid the plastic rims, and with a great sense of pride at not spilling a drop, took out the U-Bend and stood up straight and tall, his wife gazing at him admiringly. Then he poured it carefully down the sink.
